UK house price growth slowed in September, the latest data from the Office of National Statistics revealed on Wednesday.
The annual percentage change for average UK house prices for September was 9.5%, compared with 13.1% in August and 15.2% in July.
The average UK house price was £295,000 in September, £26,000 higher than at the same time last year but unchanged since August.
"It is likely that average house prices were slightly inflated in September 2021, as buyers in England and Northern Ireland rushed to complete property purchases before Stamp Duty Land Tax changes at the end of September 2021," explained the ONS.
